QUESTION 2

changes that she will experience during her first trimester, such as:
A. Nausea and vomiting
B. Quickening
C. A 68 lb weight gain
D. Abdominal enlargement
Correct Answer: A
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
(A) Nausea and vomiting are experienced by almost half of all pregnant women during the first 3 months of pregnancy as a result of elevated human chorionic
gonadotropin levels and changed carbohydrate metabolism. (B) Quickening is the mother's perception of fetal movement and generally does not occur until 1820
,weeks after the last menstrual period in primigravidas, but it may occur as early as 16 weeks in multigravidas. (C) During the first trimester there should be only a
modest weight gain of 24 lb. It is not uncommon for women to lose weight during the first trimester owing to nausea and/or vomiting. (D) Physical changes are not
apparent until the second trimester, when the uterus rises out of the pelvis.
QUESTION 3
A 38-year-old pregnant woman visits her nurse practitioner for her regular prenatal checkup. She is 30 weeks' gestation. The nurse should be alert to which
condition related to her age?
A. Iron-deficiency anemia
B. Sexually transmitted disease (STD)
C. Intrauterine growth retardation
D. Pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH)
Correct Answer: D
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
(A) Iron-deficiency anemia can occur throughout pregnancy and is not age related. (B) STDs can occur prior to or during pregnancy and are not age related. (C)
Intrauterine growth retardation is an abnormal process where fetal development and maturation are delayed. It is not age related. (D) Physical risks for the pregnant
client older than 35 include increased risk for PIH, cesarean delivery, fetal and neonatal mortality, and trisomy.
QUESTION 4
A client returns for her 6-month prenatal checkup and has gained 10 lb in 2 months. The results of her physical examination are normal. How does the nurse
interpret the effectiveness of the instruction about diet and weight control?
http://www.gratisexam.com/
A. She is compliant with her diet as previously taught.
B. She needs further instruction and reinforcement.
C. She needs to increase her caloric intake.
, D. She needs to be placed on a restrictive diet immediately.
Correct Answer: B
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
(A) She is probably not compliant with her diet and exercise program. Recommended weight gain during second and third trimesters is approximately 12 lb. (B)
Because of her excessive weight gain of 10 lb in 2 months, she needs re-evaluation of her eating habits and reinforcement of proper dietary habits for pregnancy. A
2200-calorie diet is recommended for most pregnant women with a weight gain of 2730 lb over the 9-month period. With rapid and excessive weightgain, PIH
should also be suspected. (C) She does not need to increase her caloric intake, but she does need to re-evaluate dietary habits. Ten pounds in 2 months is
excessive weight gain during pregnancy, and health teaching is warranted. (D) Restrictive dieting is not recommended during pregnancy.
QUESTION 5
Diabetes during pregnancy requires tight metabolic control of glucose levels to prevent perinatal mortality. When evaluating the pregnant client, the nurse knows
the recommended serum glucose range during pregnancy is:
A. 70 mg/dL and 120 mg/dL
B. 100 mg/dL and 200 mg/dL
C. 40 mg/dL and 130 mg/dL
D. 90 mg/dL and 200 mg/dL
Correct Answer: A
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
(A) The recommended range is 70120 mg/dL to reduce the risk of perinatal mortality. (B, C, D) These levels are not recommended. The higher the blood glucose,
the worse the prognosis for the fetus. Hypoglycemia can also have detrimental effects on the fetus.
QUESTION 6
When assessing fetal heart rate status during labor, the monitor displays late decelerations with tachycardia and decreasing variability. What action should the
nurse take?
A. Continue monitoring because this is a normal occurrence.
B. Turn client on right side.
